Jon Arnett
Jon Dwane "Jaguar Jon" Arnett (April 20, 1935 – January 16, 2021) was an American professional football player. He was a first-team All-American out of USC and was chosen in the first round, second pick overall, of the 1957 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams.
During a successful 10-year career in the National Football League, Arnett was selected five consecutive times to the Pro Bowl from 1957 to 1961 before chronic knee pain reduced his effectiveness. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2001.
Jon Arnett was born April 20, 1935. He attended Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles, for which he competed on the school gymnastics team. Arnett later attributed much of his career success as an elusive running back to this early background in gymnastics. Arnett also participated in track and field in high school and later in college, specializing in the long jump. In 1954 Arnett posted a near-record of 24'8.75" in an NCAA meet.
During his 1952 senior season, Arnett scored a total of 112 points, eclipsing the old single-season high school record of 110, in leading the Manual Arts Toilers to the Los Angeles city championship. The All-Southern California Board of Football, working through the Helms Athletic Association, named Arnett to the first team of the Los Angeles All-City high school football team and selected him as the 1952 Player of the Year.
Arnett attended the University of Southern California, for which he played football and ran track.
Arnett was the multiple recipient of the W. J. Voit Memorial Trophy as the outstanding football player on the Pacific Coast. Arnett won the Voit Trophy in both 1955 and 1956.
During his sophomore season USC was granted a bid to the 1955 Rose Bowl despite a second-place finish in the Pacific Coast Conference, owing to UCLA being ruled ineligibile. The speedy Arnett acquitted himself well, finishing with 123 yards gained on just 9 carries, including a 70-yard scamper in the fourth quarter, but the Trojans fell nonetheless by a score of 20–7.
Arnett was a first team All American during his 1955 junior year at USC but was limited to only half a season of eligibility in 1956 due to NCAA penalties against the Pacific Coast Conference for recruiting violations.
